"Gentlemen, ladies, friends who are neither gentlemen nor ladies, hello.

This is the newly established Deathyard Arena, and I am your new favorite anchor in the future - Cavendish III. You can affectionately call me Teacher Cavendish~"

After a commotion that moved mountains and seas, a male voice full of "kindness" and "inclusiveness" echoed over the huge martial arts hall accompanied by various shining laser lights, and the martial arts hall was surrounded by floating in the air.

, on the projection screen, there is a friendly smiling face holding a microphone.

"Life is always full of exciting surprises, so today's opening of my arena is no exception.

On this unexpected and surprising day, we have invited a heavyweight guest who is both beautiful and wise, the sage of the Great Library—Miss Meteora Esterreich!~"

The camera zoomed out, and the petite figure with short silver hair beside Xing Ke was framed into the camera:

"Hello, friends from Hongjie Ark.

My name is Meteora Estresi, and I was not kidnapped."

Meteora looked at the camera expressionlessly, nodded in greeting, and then said calmly:

"This unexpected and surprising live show of fighting skills is exclusively sponsored by my friend, the gentleman nicknamed [Cavendish III]. It is currently located at the [Second Generation Martial Arts Hall] six degrees northwest of the Rainbow Bridge Hall

It will be held at the venue. Everyone can go to the venue and show their badges to watch the game for free.

Those who cannot be there can also watch the battle at any location through the live broadcast of the Magic Network. Please watch this first public fighting competition since the establishment of the Death Garden in a relaxed and happy mood."

As Meteora nodded at the end of her speech, the center of the camera returned to the star moment:

"Okay, thank you to Ms. Meteora for your humorous opening speech. Next is our second guest today. He is not very famous, but because he is responsible for the [security mission] today, I pulled him over to be the guest commentator -

—Brother Zhanshen!~"

The camera zoomed out again, and Brother Zhan Shen, who was sitting on the right side of Xing Ke, was included in the shot:

"Ahem, hello everyone, my nickname is [Zhanshen]. Due to personal reasons, I often take on daily security tasks in the courtyard, so I must be familiar to many people.

I am honored to be invited to the opening of the arena today, also because the two gentlemen who are in charge of mediating the conflict on the arena today - Black Ten and Flame Insect.

For detailed information about grievances, please log in to the Hongjie Ark Magic Network. In the courtyard forum, there is public mission information in the guard log column. Friends who are interested can browse there."

With Brother Zhan Shen nodding seriously and politely, the camera once again returned to Xing Ke:

"Okay, without further ado, everyone must have guessed what happened. Let me start today's main show now, and invite our two duelists to appear!~"

"Isn't this too fast?"

As Meteora complained softly, the camera panned and took a quick tour of the panoramic arena that was more than three times larger than the Second Generation Martial Arts Hall. Then the camera focused on the two people standing opposite each other in full armor in the center of the arena.

Star Moment: "Our first contestant's nickname in the Death Courtyard is [Flame Insect], and he is also the initiator of this duel. He seems to be an old man with a bad temper."

Meteora: "She just has a straightforward personality."

As if sensing the presence of the suspended broadcast camera, the fire insect on the field, dressed in warrior equipment, raised an indecent gesture common to all five-fingered humanoid creatures in the direction of the studio where Xingke was.

Xing Ke: "Ah, everyone can see that it is really difficult for a martial artist with a straightforward personality like the Flame Insect Player to adapt to an environment like the Court of Death that completely prohibits force and advocates rational order."

Meteora: "Indeed. As the size of the Macrorealm Ark organization expands exponentially, regulations that are not suitable for individualized groups have begun to appear."

Xingke: "This situation, especially when our Flameworm players met the Black Ten players who can be said to have the worst compatibility, was completely highlighted."

The camera gave a very natural close-up of Hei Shi in the field. Hei Shi, who was dressed in a black leather jacket and with various props hanging on his body, waved to the camera very naturally, with a signature frivolous smile on his face.

Xing Ke: "When the Black Ten players made a fortune, they probably didn't expect that things would develop to this point, right?"

Meteora: "There are various circles of common sense in the same world, let alone the [Macro World]?"

Zhanshen: "The conflicts within a lifetime relationship are almost always caused by the collision of values."

The camera zoomed out again, and Black Ten and Fire Insect were at both ends of the camera at the same time. Between them, there was obviously a red warning line projected by the magic power of the star.

Xingji: "But friends who are struggling on the boundary between rationality and sensibility, please don't worry."

Meteora: "Although the Macrorealm Ark maintains order with [Absolute Contract], the Death Garden is not a lonely world that denies all [individuality] and [sensibility]."

Star Moment: "And today's duel is just the beginning——

[Competitive Duel System·Startup]!~"

Following Xingji's command, a conspicuous cursor appeared above the heads of Black Ten and Flame Insect respectively, with two energy slots similar in color to the cursor.

Star Carving: "Friends at the scene may have seen that above the heads of the two players, there are equal-proportion, numerical status indicator marks objectively recognized by the consciousness of the world in the death courtyard. One represents the physical state and battery life, and the other represents the two of them.

of magic reserves, we call them respectively——

[HP] and [MP].”

Meteora: "Well, this kind of place is barely considered a piracy method. It can also be said to be the traditional performing arts of our Macrorealm Ark."

Zhanshen: "Depending on the combat situation, [MP] returning to zero means that the player's magic reserves are exhausted, and [HP] returning to zero means the player has lost combat effectiveness or died - is this my understanding correct? Kavin

Mr. Disch?"

Xing Ke: "Yse, that's very true. Looking at your talent, Brother Zhan Shen, you turn out to be an RPG game enthusiast."

Zhanshen: "Haha..."

Meteora: "This is common sense among members of Hongjie Ark, hey~"

Star Moment: "But don't worry, the beauty of the [Competitive Duel System] is that it is a public duel recognized by the world consciousness of the Death Courtyard. After the duel, all the status of the duel participants - including equipment, potions, scroll props

Inside - everything will go back to before the duel at the root level."

Meteora: "Someone has spent a lot of money."

Xing Ke: "So!~Duelists, don't worry, put aside your dignity, fight with your last bit of blood, and fight!~"

"Please don't say it so openly."

"Ready~——go!~"
Chapter completed!
